We're excited to introduce a powerful new feature that enhances your contact management capabilities with customizable contact associations. These new tools are designed to streamline relationships between contacts, making it easier than ever to define and manage interactions with your network.
The latest update allows you to create meaningful connections between contacts through custom labels. Whether you need to define relationships like "Parent-Child," "Spouse," or "Business Partner," you can efficiently organize and view connections right from the contact details view. This feature allows up to 10 custom labels per relationship, providing flexibility in managing your network.
In the contact details view, you can now see a dedicated section for linked contacts, organized by their association labels. This setup offers a clear, structured overview of all related contacts, enhancing your ability to manage network relationships proficiently. Admins have the flexibility to manage, create, and edit these associations directly, providing full control over how contact relationships are defined.
To leverage this feature:
Creating Associations
Admins can create custom association labels by navigating to Settings > Objects > Contacts and selecting "+ Create Association."
Options include selecting either a single label or pair of labels such as "Manager-Employee." Save to confirm your selection.
Edit or delete association labels with ease using the kebab menu.
Linking and Viewing Linked Contacts
Open the specific contact's details page. The "Associations" section is located on the right panel.
Add a contact by clicking "Add" next to Contacts, then select the contact and choose the appropriate relationship labels.
The associated contact will appear in the contact’s details, with the link mirrored on the other contact's page.
Stay tuned for future enhancements that will enable even more robust management of associated contacts. Upcoming features will enable actions like automated contact creation and updates within workflows, as well as CCing multiple linked contacts in communications, integrating custom fields for a more personalized touch.
